Loughborough Bear spent the day in downtown Mérida, Mexico where he considered having a Frappuccino, debated what to eat for a meal, and finally settled on guacamole before deciding he was full.

22 June 2013 - Loughborough Bear spends his day in downtown Mérida, MX

Launched in late 2007, the attention to detail and quality of design is apparent in every inch of this newly-built junk, artfully marrying space, rich 1930s Indochine-style wooden décor and exquisite ornamentation throughout its air-conditioned 24 bedrooms, restaurant, bars and communal spaces. Whether you want to throw a party on the terrace, enjoy an intimate candle-lit dinner in the Jasmine restaurant, or just relax and unwind in the Jasmine Spa, Halong Jasmine is the perfect way to enjoy the bay.

GuideStar Webinar for Nonprofits—Financial Analysis in Action: Getting the Mo...

GuideStar

How can nonprofit leaders advance their missions by using financial data in their planning and decision-making? What are the "right" financial indicators on which to focus? In this one-hour webinar, we will undertake a comprehensive analysis of one organization's financial health, using the Financial SCAN platform developed by Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) and GuideStar. Through this case example, we will address the ways in which nonprofit leaders can use financial trends and comparisons to inform future plans and engage with stakeholders. Presenters: Peter Kramer, Manager, Nonprofit Finance Fund, and Scott Menzel, Product & User Experience Manager, GuideStar (moderator)

This document summarizes a presentation about analyzing Form 990 data from nonprofits to better understand their financial health and inform funding decisions. It provides an overview of the Financial SCAN tool, which analyzes 5 years of 990 data to show financial trends, ratios, expenses, revenues, and compares organizations to peers. As a case study, it examines the nonprofit Help for Homeless Youth, showing metrics like their income statement, balance sheet, expenses over time, and liquidity issues. The presentation concludes with considerations for funders to have more data-driven conversations with grantees about their financial situations.

Physical growth and cardiovascular health: a focus on stunting

Ines Varela-Silva

- Stunting, as indicated by height-for-age, affects physical growth and long-term health. It can lead to less muscle mass and lower physical activity levels. It also influences energy use and fat storage. - Stunting is caused by undernutrition during critical periods of development, especially the first 1000 days of life from conception through 2 years of age. It can have intergenerational effects through compromised maternal health and nutrition. - Adults who experienced stunting may be at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases like heart disease later in life. However, more research is needed to understand the relationships between stunting, BMI, and risk of cardiovascular outcomes at different life stages.

Why Human Biology needs other Biological Sciences? By Lidia Millan Fernandez ...

Ines Varela-Silva

Presentation given on the 24 February 2018, by Dr Ines Varela-Silva at the Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados - CINVESTAV - Merida, Mexico. Based on research conducted by Lidia Millan Fernandez (BSc Biological Anthropology), supervised by Dr Ines Varela-Silva (Loughborough University). Credits given to Lidia as the main author. Better knowledge of the socio-ecological interactions needs to be understood. But also, more action needs to be taken in order to address effectively the current problems that the Earth is facing. That is why the 17 Global Goals has been proposed by the United Nations (Sachs et al., 2016). However, these objectives will not be successful without cooperation, collaboration and relation between researchers, policy makers and citizens from all the disciplines. Everyone has to contribute to a Sustainable World.

Intergenerational factors shaping nutritional status among urban maya in Meri...

Ines Varela-Silva

This session brings together scientists interested in the physical anthropology of populations from the Yucatan Peninsula. Most presentations, whether in skeletal or in living populations, address the relationship between living conditions and health. Studies in skeletal populations tell us the story of how well local populations adapted in pre-Columbian times. The studies with living populations speak of the ontogenetic effect of modern nutritional environments and their impact in future generations.

Health and patterns of fat among The Maya

Ines Varela-Silva

This document discusses methods for analyzing regional fat distribution and body shape among Maya populations. It notes limitations of BMI and advocates using skinfold thickness measurements and the Healy-Tanner method to assess body size and shape. This method uses principal component analysis on log-transformed skinfold residuals to determine fat distribution patterns independent of total fatness. The document questions why BMI is still predominantly used and not other methods like those proposed by Garn, Tanner, and Frisancho that can provide more detailed information on chronic disease risk factors.

Case study: The Maya

Ines Varela-Silva

The document provides information about the Maya people, including their history of social, economic, and political repression. It then discusses health studies comparing Maya children living in Guatemala to those who have immigrated to the United States and live in Los Angeles and Indiantown, Florida. The studies find that Maya children in the US have better growth outcomes, being on average 10 cm taller and with 7 cm longer legs, but also face higher risks of overweight and obesity due to obesogenic environments in their new communities.

Growing short and fat: The Maya from Mexico are now a dual-burden group

Ines Varela-Silva

The document summarizes research on the nutritional status of the Maya people from Mexico. It finds that the Maya now experience a "dual burden" of malnutrition, with high rates of both stunting (chronic undernutrition) and overweight/obesity. A three-generation study showed stunting and obesity rates were highest in grandmothers, lower in mothers, and lowest but still significant in children. This suggests negative intergenerational effects, where the poor nutritional status of grandmothers and mothers impacts the growth of the current generation of children. The causes require more investigation but could involve factors like micronutrient intake, dietary fat consumption, metabolic pathways, and physical activity levels.

4th Exhibition of The Maya Project

Coll. antropol. 36 (2012) 1 39–45

Ines Varela-Silva

This document discusses the nutritional dual-burden phenomenon seen in developing countries where undernutrition and overnutrition exist simultaneously at the population, household, and individual levels. It describes the different types of dual-burden and indicators used to assess nutritional status. The document uses data on Maya mothers and children in Mexico to illustrate issues in dual-burden classification and implications for health interventions. Classification methods greatly impact estimated dual-burden prevalence rates, with implications for addressing the problem.

Physical activity, early life events and the nutritional status of Maya children

Ines Varela-Silva

This document summarizes research on physical activity levels, early life events, and the nutritional status of Maya children in Merida, Mexico. The study found that 21.8% of children were stunted and 33% were overweight/obese. 70% of mothers were below the 5th percentile for height. Shorter stature in children was associated with lower activity levels. While children were generally highly active, girls and stunted children showed the lowest physical activity. The research suggests negative intergenerational effects on growth among the Maya.
